Phenomenal Legal Representation!!!

2015 Attorney Catherine Del Valle embarked upon a family case that would have caused most seasoned counsels to run for the hills or graciously articulate "Not interested in representing this case mam" In 2015 I was forced to secure legal counsel for a family issue. My ex husband was refusing to a...llow me to visit with our then 6 year old daughter. Over the course of six months I was denied legal visitation during my SPO. This parent alienation caused emotional and mental distress for my daughter and I. When the violations first happened I was advised by dozens of counsels to just journal and document everything but that a family judge would not entertain a filing a motion so soon after a divorce and within less of a year. The obvious elephant in the room was how did a mother loose custody of her only child. Well Catherine saw past the abnormal ruling and the present conservatorship ruling. She agreed not to just represent me but with confidence she articulated "I will do everything I can to reunite you with your daughter" . In 2015 Catherine filed an enforcement against my ex-husband. Her defense was no non-sense and strategic. My ex was found in contempt on numerous violations and I was awarded expanded visitation. My ultimate goal was to always re-establish exclusive rights to my daughter. So with no delay attorney Catherine Del Valle proceeded to file a motion for a hearing to address the parent child modification but the family judge denied the motion. With no hesitation Catherine had my ex husband served despite the court's determination not to grant a hearing. The Parent Child Modification was filed in 2016. The co-parent failed to provide a timely response and March 2016 we won the judgement by default. Immediately, My ex secured counsel and filed a motion claiming he was not properly served. Despite all of the legal responses from her colleagues who assumed a new trial was inevitable; Catherine stayed the course and prepared an iron clad defense. Catherine unleashed a defense that was unstoppable and pure genius. Her tenacity and will to render justice was skillfully exemplified. She orchestrated a solid presentation with credible witnesses that benefited my case and yielded optimal results for my family. What was most impressive about Catherine was that she would not give up, no matter the opposition, the history and complexities of the case. On April 13, 2016 the judge denied the respondent a new trial. I walked out of the 312th Family court room elated and validated because my counsel never stop believing in my plight to one day again receive permanent reunification with my now 7 year old daughter. I highly recommend Catherine Del Valle legal representation. Catherine Del Valle professionalism, court delivery and compassion for justice for her clients is unparalleled. Catherine will continue to fight for justice for you and your family in-spite of all obstacles. Your only solution for your legal issue you are facing today is to obtain the legal representation of Catherine Del Valle. To God Be The Gllory J. Miller

Best Family Attorney!!

Attorney Del Valle represented me in a complicated divorce case. She is a very smart and compassionate family attorney that knows her stuff. She was always available on the phone/email to respond to any questions or concerns regarding my case. I highly recommend her without a doubt.

Child Support

Ms. del Valle was very thorough and responsive to my case. Some attorneys take forever to get back to you or speak through other paralegals, she was very hands on and gave me her personal cell phone to contact her when questions arouse. I have referred at least 5 clients to her law office and all of ...them have been very pleased.

To start with Miss. Del Valle awesome experience, Miss Del Valle was referred to me by my causin who was a party against Miss. Del Valle's client. I had a civil and criminal cases, couldn't make it to court on several occasions and Miss. Del Valle was there for me. She would always let me know of my... court dates by email and phone calls, very helpful and very knowledgeable, would recommend her for civil and criminal cases.
